Just a quick post to let you guys know there is now a nextpvr.com website, thanks to lots of hard work put in by Steeb, McBainUK, Hairy and Elite. This should provide a better first impression for new users. They've done a great job, and it is worlds better than anything I might have knocked up myself. Thanks also to the users that provided feedback on the website while it was being developed.
For those that are curious - nextpvr.com and gbpvr.com will both be usable in the future, and will share the same forum and wiki.
I have two USB tuners installed, a WinTV HVR-950 and a Pinnacle PCTV 800e. In NPVR 2.1.5 only the device that is inserted first works. I get a 'device failed to start' when attempting a scan on the other.
Logs are attached. In NPVR.log.3 an error appears on attempting a scan on the 800e at 2011-07-27 19:08:39.953. The successful scan that follows that was performed with the HVR-950 removed. I'm running NPVR 2.1.5 R1 on XP SP3.
I had a similar problem in GB-PVR but was able to get both tuners to work by setting BDAAutoDetectTuner=false. Is there anything I can do to get both to work in NPVR?
ok, I have literally been up all night trying to rename a recording file using NScriptHelper. no matter what I do, the recording I try to rename just disappears from the database. I've set <AutoRemoveMissingRecordings> to false in config.xml, and they still disappear. I'm running out of recordings to try this with.
all I'm trying to do is insert the subtitle (episode name) into the file name... this shouldn't be hard.
the file rename itself works just fine, but once I run the nscripthelper command the recording is gone. i've tried without double-quotes as well, but I'm pretty sure they're needed.
I have a Hauppauge Colossus installed. I have it configured in both of the supplied Arcsoft and WinTV programs to use the Toslink. Capturing using either program provides AC3 5.1 on channels transmitting it. I only get 2 channel ACC via NPVR. It is not a codec settings issue. It is recording in 2 channel ACC. I assume I'm doing something dumb but for the life of me cannot identify the issue. Does anybody know how to set this thing up to record off SPDIF in NPVR? I just don't see anything on any forum anywhere giving clues to what I'm doing wrong. Does anybody have this thing working in NPVR? If so, could you share what you did? Thanks.
I'm using the hdpvr and my cable company decided to move all the HD channels to 1000+. I can change to these channels with the tvguide so the channel changer works. However when trying to change during livetv I can't enter a 4th digit for channel changes. I haven't tested recordings yet but I'm guessing that would be fine since the tvguide isn't affected. Obviously not a big issue and I'm not sure if anyone is effected by it, hopefully theres a file tweak I could change or something.
If I am on the OSD EPG, when I hit enter on any show on the current channel, I get back the popup for the first channel in the table. After moving channels and going to back to the active channel things are ok.
I run NPVR 2.1.5 on Windows Vista using a Hauppauge HVR 900 and it WAS running quite successfully.
I experienced a problem where the drive with my temp folder on ran out of space and I could not get NPVR to restart. I deleted the contents in the temp directory to make space but it still refused to restart.
So I uninstalled using uninstall.exe and then tried to reinstall. It keeps asking if one of the components on NPVR is still running and if I reinstall it doesn't work successfully. When I try to restart NPVR it just tells me that it has encountered an error.
It appears that despite uninstalling there is a part of NPVR still running.
I'm testing my shiny new Colossus, and the video quality is great! h.264 is definitely an improvement over mpeg2 & my trusty hvr2200. However after 5-6 minutes the video freezes and cpu usage drops dramatically. Skipping back seems to fix it, at least for another few minutes, so it looks like the stream/timeshifting etc is not being lost.
I'm using the Arc Soft .264 video codec and LAV audio (only one that doesnt seem to cause major stuttering) as well as the latest drivers for everything. I can't see anything obvious in the logs, so I fear I'm staring into the dreaded codec hell (?)
As I run a HD5450 I initially wanted to use the AMD/ATI media codec pack (10.7), but that results in a black screen, only seems to work for MPEG2, not sure if they have included a working .264 codec with that.
